The launch of LCBO’s Our Wine Country Ontario boutique provided an
opportunity for smaller wineries to elevate the profile of their products
and for LCBO customers to learn about Ontario’s wine regions, the
appellations, varietals and styles as well as enjoy a unique Ontario
wine-shopping experience. Located inside the LCBO’s St. Catharines’
store, Our Wine Country Ontario boutiques offered a customer
experience that recreates a visit to wine country.

Vinifera
Toronto, Ontario
The Toronto Pearson airport plan developed previously unused airport
spaces into restaurants with menus designed by well-known Toronto
chefs. One of these is Vinifera, a wine bar featuring wines selected by
Master Sommelier John Szabo and a menu designed by concept chef
Michael Coury. Its soaring glass façade and use of former passenger
hold space revitalised Terminal 1’s International departures area.
Spareparts – St. Vital
Winnipeg, Alberta
Stores less than 1,000 sq. ft. in area
The strategy for St. Vital was to create brand continuity while creating a
fresh and unique interpretation of the original flagship design concept
but reduce the complexity and cost of the supply and installation.. A
focus on a clean classic pallet, texture and form were the predominate
goals. Lighting was an important element in the store design. The use of
vertical space was maximised in order to achieve optimal merchandise
display while staying true to the visually clean and minimal esthetic.

Popino
Gatineau, Ontario
Originally called “Snacks”, Popino was conceived as a bulk goods
store selling candies and sweets. At the completion of the new circus/
carousel inspired design, the impact on the store’s image was as
extreme as day and night. Existing customers, new customers, mall
owners, leasing representatives, suppliers and just about anyone who
walked by the store had positive comments.
